When we launched the Original Switch Frame a few years ago we recognised that the canvas stretching market was lacking a practical solution for framing your canvas prints. We developed the Switch Frame for this purpose and the response was fantastic.

We knew, however, that there was more to give with this side of the market and about six months ago we set about improving the product from the ground up to offer customers a truly amazing frame that would fit all of the Wunderbars range of product at a sensible price. Switch Too was born.

Quality timber makes a quality frame

The profile of the moulding is unique in the marketplace and designed by the Wunderbars team. It gives a "floating frame" effect, but angled inward to draw your eye to the image whilst giving you a feel of quality. Its also practical for what we wanted to achieve with the product. The slope allows a stretched Wunderbars canvas frame (or other traditional stretcher bars) to easily be slotted into the frame and to "self centre", a very new and one of a kind method of Framing a Canvas print.

The groove in the rear of the frame is dual purpose. When used with a Wunderbars stretched canvas it allows clips to be inserted to hold the canvas in place in the frame. The clips are not screwed and are designed to allow the canvas to "breathe". This means that the canvas can contract and expand to the rooms environment. Ensuring that it doesn't go slack in the frame, which is a fundamental problem of traditional methods of framing canvas images. The clips also allow for easy access to the rear of the canvas and taking the canvas out of the frame and replacing it with a new image.

The true power of Switch Too

The main reason for the groove in the rear of the frame is that all Switch Too frames come with a newly designed and cost saving way to stretch your canvas prints or most other media. You don't need to use a traditional stretcher bar or a Wunderbar to frame a stretched canvas. This frame does it all for you. The video opposite shows the true power of this product, the card insert. The insert has been designed from the ground up to make stretching and framing a canvas in the most simple an cost effective way ever.

There's no need for any tools. Everything you need to frame a canvas print is included in the box. What's more is that the box comes ready for you to put your finished canvas back in and sell to your customer. The patent applied design and method of the frame and the insert makes speed, quality and cost the best around.
